`4`r ToV dll wheat 'it may concern:

Be. it known that L'lVlnnraM D. HEER, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented' certain new and . useful -Im rovements in"Coin-Packagng i, Devices,

o which the following is a speci- Iication.l

f This invention relates to coin paCkaging devices and v.has among its' salient objects .Lto provide a construct-ion in which a given number ofcoins of fractional denomination i are held in a holder until wrapped; to provide a construction in which the coins are placed in the holde above a wrapper in such a manner that 4the coins mav be readily and quickly wrapped; to provi( e a constructionlwhich may be readily adjusted for use with amounts.,

l. coins'of various denominations g. to provide -20 a construction` which is compact, `devoid of .any complicated or delicate mechanism4 and can be manufactured at a relatively low cost- -a-nd in general to provide an improved 4`construction of-the character referred to.

The invention consists of the matters.

Vhereinafter described and more particularly pointed out. in the appended claims.

In the drawmgsf--Figure l is a top plan view of inv device", the )arts being shown yin dotted lines and also s owing. a wrapper in pla'ce. 'Figi'. 2 is a. side elevation takenl on lines 2 2--of Fig. o. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2 butwith parts broken away'and.shown in section. Fig. l is an end elevation.- Fig. is a vertical sectional View of' the view shown in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 is a perspective view showing the construction 'of the movable supporting casting.

It is'well known that in order 'to t'acili-V tate the work of the paying-teller in banks, coins 'of f 'actional denoniinatimi' are inclosed in.' packages containing given lt has been found in practice that it isA very diilieult. to hold the lcoins iu the hand, while wrapping them so as to secure a neat. and uniform package. The present invention obviates this difficulty by providing an adjustable holder for theeoins and package while the former are being wrapped.

Referring to the drawings in which this device is shown, .l designates a bed plate or frame casting which in the present instance is of hollow box-like construction` open at its lowerei'id.'l To the frame l is secured by screws 2 a substantially U .shaped actuated screw 15.

1 for a limited distance.

bracket 3, which is provided centrally with a' threaded opening or eye v4=.-a1id at one` side with a somewhat similar eye 5. lVithin thev frame -1- and between the arms Gof the bracket 3 are loosely journaled a pair of rollers?, the trunnions 8 of these rollers be ing seated in suit-able sockets formed in the side walls ofY the frame. These rollers are spaced laterally apart as shown in Fig. 3 and are adapted' to receive and 'support a roll of coins' while the latter are being wrapped( The upper face of the main frame 1 iscut away as shown at 9 for a purpose hereinafter deseribed.- Upon the top'faee 1l of the main f'a' is slidably. mounted a. guidecasting- 11',

which is provided at its-lower end with a pla-te like extension 12. This 4casting 11 is of skeleton form and is provided at its rear endwith a depending vflange 13 provided with an aperturedlug 1st-.for receiving an This --screw extends through a suitable aperture 1.6 in the side I of the bed frame and is screw threaded into the eye il of the bracket 3. Tl1e-a1": uige ment 1s such that the guide castmgvll can.

be moved bodily across the tace of the frame .\t its lower side the flange 13 of the casting is apertured to receive a guide. rod 1T which passes through the side of the traine and projects` through l.the eye 5 o f the bracket 3. This rod 17 serves to keep the plate extension 12 of-the cast-ing always in proper alineinent. A't'its inner sides the skeleton casting 11 is provided with vertical guide grooves-18 which confine in position a movable head 19. ,This head 19 is provided'atits lower end with an apertured lug or eye 20 to receive a centering pin 21, the. front end ot' which pro- 'jects through an elongated slot:- 22 in the front. end of the casting 11. -In order to more.accurately guide the centering pin the l'ront wall 23 of the casting is provided with a curved lip 24 as shown in Fig. 6. -This front wall Q3 is preferablyLformed sepa"- rately from the main body of rthe casting and is contined4 in the dove-tailed grooves 25 as shown. YTo the rear end of the centering pin 21 is connected an operating screw 26 which projects through the rear wall of '274 secured in position 'by screws 28. The movable head 19 is actuated by means .of a

screw 29 extending into a suitably threaded',

socket 30 formed inthe head. Thisscrew so mounted that the head travels up'and means ofa ing head up l thefroll of coins, regardless of the denomina.-

tion which is being wrapped.

The roll .of paper 32m-which coins are to be wrapped isv slipped inrjust above the upper periphery of, the rollers before thev roll o coins is placed on the latter. The inner edge of the paper is guided by 'the side of thc movable castingd?) and a screwY 33 extending 'through the top of the frame l.
